What February's Cancer Horoscope Means for You
Read what your sign's 2019 horoscope predictions have in store for you, or check out the Cancer personality profile.
It’s February 2019, but let’s take a quick moment to reflect on the past. In fact, let’s cruise all the way back to August 2016, when the first partial lunar eclipse occurred on the Leo-Aquarius axis. What was happening in your life at that moment, Cancer? What were the central themes? This eclipse story continued into the beginning of 2019 when late last month the final lunation occurred on January 21. After a very long time, this narrative is finally coming to a close.
Suffice it to say, shit has been real — and I know it hasn’t been easy, Cancer darling. The universe has been serving up some serious lessons, forcing you to confront the dark corners of your psyche. Use the next few weeks to reflect on how much has changed in your life since August 2016. For one thing, you’re no longer defining yourself by external ideas of “success.”
You’re also no longer comparing your happiness to the achievements of others. Sure, you may experience occasional jealousy from time to time, but this eclipse series ushered in exponential growth. You’ll start to feel these shifts settle on Monday, February 4 under the new moon in Aquarius. This is a big lunation, Cancer babe. Let it sink in.
Pack your bags, dust off your passport, and prepare for some unexpected jet-setting.
On Monday, February 18, Chiron — the comet known as the “Wounded Healer” — moves into a new sign for the first time since 2011. In fact, Chiron’s motion into fiery Aries sky hasn’t occurred since 1976, so this planetary happening is quite major. Now, the way you process the past is going to be directly linked to how you move forward. Through 2026, your achievements will correspond to your healing process. Perhaps you’ll accept opportunities that once seemed inaccessible, or realize that your sensitivities are a strength as opposed to a weakness. Remember, this change won’t happen overnight, but trust that slowly but surely you’re reaching new heights.
On that same day, (Monday, February 18), Pisces season begins as the sun drifts into this like-minded water sign. Though Cancerian energy is often associated with domestic interests, your passions will be guided by wanderlust for the next several weeks. Pisces activates your ninth house, the area of your chart associated with travel, philosophy, and higher education — so pack your bags, dust off your passport, and prepare for some unexpected jet-setting. And with romance in the air for Valentine’s Day, don’t be surprised if you suddenly begin exploring things with a long-distance interest.
This month also includes a full moon in Virgo on Tuesday, February 19. The moon often makes you feel emotional, but this lunation is a bit different: Now, you just feel like gossiping. There’s nothing wrong with sipping the tea every now and then, Cancer love, but be mindful of who’s serving: For example, your current partner’s ex-lover may not be the most reliable source for accurate information. But don’t fret. Stay smooth with Beautyblender's Original Beautyblender. This powerful tool delivers a seamless makeup application, so the haters will never see you sweat. How perfect.
